Need help with multiple goals

mcdowjj Posts: 2 Joined: 2001/10/24	2002/01/23, 08:45 AM Im a beginner to regular weight lifting. I am one of those lucky people who never really needed to lift weights. Not cause I am big or nothing. Its just that my jobs always helped build muscle naturally (Infantry, Ranch hand). Well now im in a job in teh military where I dont lift heavy items alot and the Training program is extremely lax so i started lifting weights. What i need help with is keeping my strength but not getting to big to where when i go back to being infantry I can still hide behind trees and in bushes. Right now i am using the program for staying cut not bulking up. Should i mix these two or just stay with the cut program? Mcdow

If you're concerned with just maintaining your strength, make sure you work with light to medium weights and more reps. Is there a specific body part you want to concentrate on? It really does help if you fill out your profile and just specifically outline your goal (i.e. more strength in the arms but not legs, etc.). Although, it sounds like you just want to maintain what you have...
